Nestled deep in the heart of the Osage Nation, Wah-Sha-She means “The Water People” in the Osage language. Water people will find plenty to love about Wah-Sha-She State Park. Boating and fishing are popular pastimes on Hulah Lake.

Hulah Lake lies in the upper reaches of the high rounded Osage Hills, and were named after the nearby community of Hulah, which was established in 1918. The name is derived from the Osage Indian word Hulah meaning “eagle”. Hulah Lake is located in a farming and ranching community where grazing cattle and working cowboys are familiar sights along any access road. Upon arrival at the lake, visitors will be impressed with the dam structure itself.

The gentle sloping terrain gradually slopes to the water’s edge creating an attractive shoreline along the adjacent grasslands and forest areas. The picturesque setting is an open invitation to the visitor for picnicking, camping, hiking and sightseeing. For the nature lover, there are many native trees and flowering shrubs, including dogwood, redbud, wild plum and a variety of wild flowers.

Camping and picnicking facilities include boat launching ramps, camping and picnicking sites, beaches and sanitary facilities have been provided in the developed park areas located around the lake.
